The CT scanner in Portiuncula Hospital is included for replacement under the National Equipment Replacement Programme. Provision of the scanner will form part of a larger construction project which is currently being considered by the HSE.
We are advised that, due in part to the impacts of Covid-19 and the recent ransomware attack, the HSE is not in a position to give an expected date for completion of the Portiuncula Hospital project, including the replacement of the CT scanner, at this point.
